It is also an opportunity for persons of any age looking for counsel on how to help or get assistance for their aging parent, relative or friend. The staff present will offer guidance, counsel and referral for a broad set of topics.

Little-known fact: Most of the marketing efforts of the Freed Center for the Performing Arts at Ohio Northern University take place in Bluffton.
That's because, Anita Cook, independent contractor and marketing manager of the Center, lives in Bluffton. She creates most of her work from the office in her home on North Main Street, located just north of Groves Quality Collectibles.
Owner of Maestro Graphics, Cook is a freelance graphic artist, and her work with The Freed Center is one of the many multi-tasking positions she balances quite well.
